You.

You put away the dishes and like the kitchen really neat.

You always fold the blanket when you get up from your seat.

You like to cook dinner and make food that tastes so good.

You can't cook every night, but probably would if you could.

You think to surprise me with things like picnics in the park.

You come to bed at the same time I do so we can cuddle in the dark.

You read scriptures to me before we close our eyes to rest.

You pray with me and keep me wanting to be my very best.

You listen well, but you also like to talk a lot too.

You are fun to be around even when there's not too much to do.

You like to play games and are competitive like me

(But not too much.. or there's no telling where we'd be!)

You watch sports and like to go out to see events.

You love to light the candles that fill our home with lovely scents.

You enjoy having people over and are an excellent host.

You're a pretty humble guy and never like to boast.

You know Spanish and can speak it like a pro.

It comes in handy in a lot of places that we go.

You like to travel and explore new places we haven't been.

You calm me down when my patience runs thin.

You serve others willingly just to make them smile.

You start the laundry when I'm too lazy to move the pile.

You notice when I do something different with my hair.

You call people out of the blue to tell them you care.

You go on dates with your Grandma and won't let her pay.

You try to think positively even if you've had a bad day.

You are willing to work hard to provide what we need.

You are very reasonable and aren't driven by greed.

You remind me to take pictures and bring the camera along.

You know most of the words to Taylor Swift's songs.

You make friends almost everywhere you go.

You tell me scripture stories I don't already know.

You look at the things I make and compliment my style.

You lift me up when I get down every once in a while.

You give me big hugs and sweep me off my feet.

You iron my clothes, even the skirts with pleats.

You never use bad words and you discourage me from gossip.

You share your food with me and then leave a good tip.

You are an Eagle Scout and a hard worker, too.

You'd never ask anyone to do something you wouldn't do.

You love your family and are patient and kind.

You send me little texts to say I'm on your mind.

Every day I discover more reasons you're so good for me...

I love you, little lovebug. Happy anniversary!

Nine.

I forgot to mention that today is J.D. and I's 9 months. Here's the poem I gave him today :)

You got my number because you wanted to drop a line. I agreed to a date because I felt so inclined. I fell for you fast because you seemed so mature, so old, so refined. The charming smile & bright blue eyes… should’ve been a warning sign, But whenever you invited me out, I couldn’t decline. Every time I saw you I got shivers up my spine and it wasn’t long before I was on cloud nine…Your life and mine began to combine. We swam and danced and talked and kissed and dined. We spent the summer growing in love with our hands intertwined. Then at the end, our relationship had to be defined. I held up a big stop sign- You said “Maybe this could be divine.” And so… we headed up to Utah to laugh and play in the warm sunshine and despite my best efforts, I fell prey to your tricky design. You were so kind, and optimistic and you never whined. You were there when I needed you, but I never felt confined. I wanted to be by your side in rain or shine, but I still couldn’t make the ultimate decision, and so I pined… until you gave me a deadline. This was the plan that you outlined: “Decide no- we’ll go our separate ways and it’ll be fine. Decide yes- and I’ll call the airlines, We’ll go to Texas and I’ll ask your Dad if you can be mine.” I finally realized I didn’t need a vision, a revelation or a sign. I didn’t need to be Einstein. When I imagined my life, you’re the one I wanted in the storyline. So I committed my heart and said I love you, bolded and underlined. And despite the fact I don’t like canines, you asked me the day before Valentine’s, if I would marry you and be with you for the rest of time, and I said yes, despite your traffic fines. I love you forever honey. Happy nine!
